Professional career

On May 21, 2010, [2] due to some early knockouts on the ESPN Friday Night Fights card, Ramsey had the unusual opportunity to become one of the few boxers to make his professional debut on national television. Ramsey's four round fight against Rene Luna (no relation), a local Laredo, Texas boxer also making his professional debut, was action-packed and extremely well received – being described as "the best fight of the night, and one of the best televised fights you're going to see this year". [3]

ESPN is a U.S.-based pay television sports channel owned by ESPN Inc., a joint venture owned by The Walt Disney Company (80%) and Hearst Communications (20%). The company was founded in 1979 by Bill Rasmussen along with his son Scott Rasmussen and Ed Egan.

Laredo, Texas City in Texas, United States

Laredo is a city in and the county seat of Webb County, Texas, United States, on the north bank of the Rio Grande in South Texas, across from Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas, Mexico. Laredo has the distinction of flying seven flags. Founded in 1755, Laredo grew from a village to the capital of the brief Republic of the Rio Grande to the largest inland port on the Mexico–United States border. Laredo's economy is based on international trade with Mexico. Many major transportation companies have a facility in Laredo. The city is on the southern end of I-35 which makes it close to the manufacturers in northern Mexico. It has four international bridges and one railway bridge.

Ramsey Luna knocked down Rene during a frenzied exchange in the first round, and a free-for-all punch-a-thon took place for the rest of the round. The action did not cease for the rest of the fight, going to the judges' scorecards, which were 40-35, 39-36, and 39-36, all for Ramsey. [4] Though ESPN's Teddy Atlas criticized Ramsey's habit of sticking his tongue out after stepping away from hand-to-hand exchanges as potentially a very dangerous habit, Atlas was impressed with Ramsey's boxing ability and hand speed as well as his age - making several references to the fact that Ramsey was still in high school at the time of the fight.
